When it comes to cheeseburgers, there are a lot of different cheeses that are used to melt over the burger and give it that great cheesy flavor. However when it comes to cheeseburgers, there are a few cheeses that are better to use for cheeseburgers than others. Let’s take a look at the different kinds of cheese out there that work great on top of a hamburger patty.
Cheddar Cheese
Most people know cheddar cheese as the quintessential cheese that goes on a burger. There are a lot of different varieties of cheddar cheese that people will put on their burger, but most will end up requesting some form of yellow cheese to put on top. This may be American, mild cheddar, sharp cheddar, extra sharp cheddar, or even white cheddar. It really comes down to what you prefer and what the place you are eating at has in stock.
Blue Cheese
The blue cheese and bacon burger is a popular combination today. Although, it is fairly easy to understand that blue cheese isn’t the best cheese to melt onto a burger, but it is a great tasting cheese to eat especially with the right flavor combination's. When it comes to blue cheese, just know that it isn’t going to be easy to melt onto the burger because of the way it crumbles, but do your best to get it melted or even press it into the patty before you cook it, that will make it really easy to ensure that you don’t have a giant mess on your hands.
Swiss Cheese
The classic Swiss and mushroom burger is a great combination and Swiss cheese is a great cheese to put onto a burger. With Swiss cheese, it melts well and holds its texture and consistency when it is melted. Because of this, it is perfect for a burger that may sit for a moment before you eat it because the cheese won’t get hard and inedible. Sure, it isn’t going to keep that texture forever, but it will last a little longer than that cheddar cheese that you put on there.
There isn’t just one best cheese to put on a hamburger, in fact there are all kinds of options. The best cheese for a cheeseburger is really just the one that you enjoy. So, if you like it on your burger, put it on your burger. It’s really the taste that counts.

As a lover of cheese, I read through your blog and tend to agree with many of the items you mention in your posts. I only have one problem with this post... The fact that you mentioned pasturized processed cheese food ("American" cheese) is one thing... as some odd people out there do put it on their burgers... My problem is that you grouped it with cheddar cheese! In one style, it may have a similar color, but it is in no way a cheddar cheese, and should never be mentioned in the same sentence. Thanks!
